I've had my new truck for 2 weeks now. I have 1100 and change on the odometer and love it so far. Here's where I insert the but. Yesterday, I was merging onto a highway with a 6000 lb. +/- trailer in tow. The drive train had a slight load on it, as I was accelerating. I wasn't gouging on it. I was at part throttle, just accelerating gradually. All of the sudden the boost started fluctuating or cycling from 10 to 20 psi. I kept the same throttle position and load for a few seconds and it continued to fluctuate like it was searching for the right boost pressure. But there was no "in between". It was going from 10 to 20 and back to 10 in about 1 second time intervals. Of course the engine rpm was varying with it and the truck was surging. Has anybody else experienced this? The only time any of my other trucks did this was when I had a SCT program in it. And it was more severe then. Will this fall under the category of "normal" when I ask the service guy about it? Any ideas what is causing it or why it's doing this?
Thanks Guys!
